To explain: Which of the following elements among B, N, P, Si, Al, Ga, As, Sn, Sb, can be added to Germanium to form a p-type semiconductor:
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Doping is the introduction of impurities into a semiconductor.
For a p-type semiconductor, elements with three valence electrons (Group III) are added to the semiconductor. Among the given elements, those that have three valence electrons are- B, Al and Ga. On adding any one of these to Germanium, a p-type semiconductor will be formed.
Conclusion:
B, Al and Ga will make a p-type semiconductor.
